Today’s (7th February, 2015) Morning Satsang continues with the Upanishads Series - Living Advaita by Paramahamsa Nithyananda Isha Upanishad–Verse 2 kurvann eveha karmāṇi jijīviṣec chataṁ samāḥ| evaṁ tvayi nānyatheto ‘sti na karma lipyate nare || 2 || In this profound delivery of the Isha Upanishad, Verse 2, Paramahamsa Nithyananda summarizes the meaning in this verse: “Always decide for life! Your cognition should decide to live!” Our decision against life is SDHD (self-doubt, self-hatred and self-denial). All decisions against life are rooted in fear and the wrong belief that we will not be able to live. Let us not allow anti-life decisions inside us; no situation can make us powerless.

Transcript:
I will enter into the second verse of Ishavasya Upaniṣad. Please chant along with me:
कुर्वन्नेवेह कर्माणि जिजीविषेच्छत्ग्ण् समाः |
एवं त्वयि नान्यथेतोऽस्ति न कर्म लिप्यते नरे ॥
kurvann eveha karmāṇi jijīviṣec chatagṁ samāḥ | evaṁ tvayi nānyatheto ‘sti na karma lipyate nare || 2 ||
Chant again:
कुर्वन्नेवेह कर्माणि जिजीविषेच्छत्ग्ण् समाः | एवं त्वयि नान्यथेतोऽस्ति न कर्म लिप्यते नरे ॥
kurvann eveha karmāṇi jijīviṣec chatagṁ samāḥ | evaṁ tvayi nānyatheto ‘sti na karma lipyate nare || 2 ||
Listen! Chant once more:
कुर्वन्नेवेह कर्माणि जिजीविषेच्छत्ग्ण् समाः |
एवं त्वयि नान्यथेतोऽस्ति न कर्म लिप्यते नरे ॥
kurvann eveha karmāṇi jijīviṣec chatagṁ samāḥ | evaṁ tvayi nānyatheto ‘sti na karma lipyate nare || 2 ||
Listen to the translation:
‘One should desire to live in this world for hundreds of years, all the while doing his deeds dispassionately as sanctioned by the scriptures, and treating them as his offerings to Īśvara, the quintessential Supreme Lord, the Lord of the whole Creation. In this way, the deeds done by you shall not cling to you, the deeds will not cause their good or bad effects upon the doer of those deeds, simply because they are being done with the doer mentally convinced that he has not done them, he is not intellectually and mentally committed to these deeds, or they are done without his claiming any rights over the fruits of those deeds. There is no other way by which a man can free himself from the bondage created by the deeds.’
I will give you the translations of some of the scholars, and then give you my translation, and, of course, above all, the interception from the Upaniṣadic Ṛṣis.
Please understand, exactly this verse means: You should LIVE! Your cognition should decide to LIVE! Understand.
One of the biggest problems all human-beings have, please listen, whether you don’t have money, enough money in your bank, or you don’t have enough excitement, inspiration to run your life, whether you don’t have enough money to run your life in the outside world, or you don’t have enough energy to run your body, you don’t have enough energy to run your mind, whatever you don’t have, please be very clear, it is side-effect of some of your decisions NOT TO LIVE. Always support life. You decide at some points, ‘Better not to live. Instead of living this kind of a life, better not to live.’ Please understand, you should always think, ‘I will live in a better way. Wherever I need to transform, no question of “better not to live than living in this way”.’ Whether your body does not have energy to get up, or your mind does not have enough excitement, whatever you may think you lack is nothing but the side-effect of the decisions you did in your past AGAINST LIFE.
So, through this verse, Upanishad declares: Always, always, decide FOR LIFE!
Listen!
कुर्वन्नेवेह कर्माणि जिजीविषेच्छत्ग्ण् समाः |
kurvann eveha karmāṇi jijīviṣec chatagṁ samāḥ |
कुर्वन्नेवेह कर्माणि जिजीविषेच्छत्ग्ण् समाः |
kurvann eveha karmāṇi jijīviṣec chatagṁ samāḥ |
Always, always, always, at any moment, decide FOR LIFE! Your decision against Life is SDHD–Self-Doubt, Self-Hatred, Self-Denial. All your tiredness, physical tiredness, mental boredom...Actually, physically when you feel bored, that comes as tiredness; mentally when you feel tired, that comes as boredom. And, all pain is suppressed anger. Understand, whenever you become angry, you become violent and decide against life. Whenever you choose FOR LIFE, your anger melts down into love and compassion.
Any decision, please understand, even people who attack you, cherish enmity towards you, never decide against their life; never decide they should die or they should suffer. Always decide that ‘they should not interfere in your life; any attempt they try to do to harass you or interfere in your life should fail. Decide only FOR LIFE.
Listen! When somebody attacks you, tries to harass you, if you decide, ‘Let them be killed or destroyed’, it is against life. Always decide, ‘Let them not be able to disturb me or harass me. Let them fail in their attempt to harass me or disturb me; that’s enough. Let them transform not to disturb me or harass me; that’s enough.’ That is the decision FOR LIFE.
I tell you, whenever you decide FOR LIFE, you become so powerful, strong; naturally, no one will be able to harass you, disturb you, and Cosmos will decide what to do with them, what to do with the people who are trying to attack you, harass you. Cosmos will decide what to do with them. God will decide what to do with them. In you, be very clear, you always decide FOR LIFE.
[Decide To Live A Divine Life]
I tell you, a person who decides FOR LIFE will be Tyāgaraja. He will be such an amazing sacrificer out of love, without even thinking he is sacrificing. Listen. Tyāgaraja. Tyāgaraja. Always decide FOR LIFE.
There is a beautiful story of the great Ṛṣi, Dadhīchi. He even gave up his own body, his own spine to be used as a weapon for the victory of the Gods, devatas. Always deciding FOR LIFE, he did not decide against his life. He already achieved what he needs to achieve through his body; that is why he was ready to give it, if it is going to be useful for somebody.
Listen! Keep this as your cognition:
कुर्वन्नेवेह कर्माणि जिजीविषेच्छत्ग्ण् समाः |
kurvann eveha karmāṇi jijīviṣec chatagṁ samāḥ |
One should decide always for life, yours and others’. And, whenever you decide for Life, yours and others’, it will never be in conflict with each other. It will never be in conflict with each other, understand.
Yours and others’ always being in conflict means that is ‘animal world’. Yours and others’, when it does not exist in conflict, you become ‘human-being’. Yours and others’, when it becomes complementing each other, you become devatā, space of devatā (divine being).
So, if you are living in a space where there is a conflict between yours and others’ life, you are still living the animal life, the life of beasts, animals.
And, if you are living a life where there is no conflict between yours and others’, you have come to the human space, you have come to bhūloka (planet earth). If there is always a conflict between yours and others’ life, you are in pātāla (lower planet). If you are in the space of ‘no conflict’ between you and others’ life, you are in bhūloka. When your life and others’ life complement each other, you are in devaloka (heavenly planet).
So, you decide what kind of loka (abode or planet) you want to reside in.
I tell you, thousands go in this Mysore Road. How many decide to come and live here? It is not that we kept the doors closed. And we are inviting anybody from anywhere. We only want to make sure that they don’t harm the Sangha and Sangha is not harmed by them. We make sure they are in the space of Completion, that they are not in the space of competing or threatening each other; they are in the space of just non-competition, or there is no incompletion.
[Decide To Live Hundreds Of Years]
Listen. Always decide FOR LIFE!
कुर्वन्नेवेह कर्माणि जिजीविषेच्छत्ग्ण् समाः |
kurvann eveha karmāṇi jijīviṣec chatagṁ samāḥ |
Decide to live hundreds of years.
Today, sit and complete all the decisions you took against Life. Remember, whenever you made the decision, ‘Instead of this kind of life, better I can leave; better I can go’, all these decisions, thoughts, whenever you engaged, entertained, now it is time you complete with all that.
If there is some complication, contradiction, decide, ‘I WILL LIVE! There is no question about it! If there is an incompletion, conflict, complication, I will complete it and make myself better; but the decision to LIVE is unquestioned.’
Do not tire your decision to live. Listen! Do not weaken your decision to live. Do not abuse your decision to live. All disease is just the expression of your unconscious decisions against Life. Your decision to live can change your DNA, understand. Just this one verse, Completion with all your decisions against Life, I guarantee in the national channel, you will walk out of cancer.
The satsang is live now in one local channel, ARRA Channel, and national channel, SADHNA TV, and international channel, NITHYANANDA TV. I am talking with responsibility, with all my integrity.
Listen! Just this one verse, take it as a command from Cosmos, command from Dharma Devatā. Dharma Devatā serves Kālabhairava as a dog. The dog of Kālabhairava is Dharma Devatā. Dharma is the dog of Kālabhairava.
Understand, it is directly from Upaniṣads: DECIDE FOR LIFE! Complete with all your decisions AGAINST LIFE. Knowingly, unknowingly, whenever you decided against Life, now complete with all that; that’s enough, your DNA will have different programming, different energy!
All your decisions against Life should be completed. Incompletions created against Life should be completed. And, all the incompletions against Life, all your decisions against Life will be rooted in fear and your wrong belief you may not be able to live. Creating a delusion you may not be able to live, and convincing you not to live, and making you decide not to live, and not living is ‘Fear’. Creating the delusion you may not be able to live, and convincing you not to live, and making you decide not to live, and making you not to live, is Fear.
With fear you can do both:
One, Bhāg lo (भाग लो) – RUN. Second, “Bhāg lo” (भाग लो) – PARTICIPATE. Bhāg lo (Run) or Bhaag lo (Participate), understand.
Hindi downloading. (laughs)
Listen! Decide FOR LIFE. If there is a delusion that you may not be able to live, don’t decide that you don’t want to live. No! Decide,‘I will Complete this and continue to live. No question of giving up on!’
Not to give up on yourself and others is the decision expected from you from this verse:
कुर्वन्नेवेह कर्माणि जिजीविषेच्छत्ग्ण् समाः |
kurvann eveha karmāṇi jijīviṣec chatagṁ samāḥ |
This verse is a spiritual support for all the sick, weak, tired, poor people on the Planet Earth. Whether it is a physical sickness, mental tiredness, or boredom in life, or poverty in your outer world, whatever may be the problem, this one verse–kurvann eveha karmāṇi jijīviṣec chatagṁ samāḥ | (कुर्वन्नेवेह कर्माणि जिजीविषेच्छत्ग्ण् समाः) – is solution!
Listen! FEAR has two expansions:
Forget Everything And Run; or Face Everything And Rise! All your decisions not to live are made in powerless space. All your decisions not to live are made when your stomach is upset. All your decisions against Life are made when your stomach is upset, when you have weak guts. So, whenever, next time you have stomach upset, don’t think, brood over, decide about Life. Just take a little haritaki powder and clean. Then sit and plan your Life.
[Do Not Entertain Anti-life Decisions In You]
Do not entertain, believe, allow, do not entertain, believe, allow anti-life decisions in you. No situation can make you powerless and give up on yourself. Please understand, always decide – kurvann eveha karmāṇi jijīviṣec chatagṁ samāḥ | (कुर्वन्नेवेह कर्माणि जिजीविषेच्छत्ग्ण् समाः)”.
‘Whether my boss is hitting at me, or my spouse is firing at me, or society is suppressing me, no question of shrinking. No question of making even a single decision against Life. No!’ And, when you decide for Life, I tell you, it will always be in tune with them also, and even they will start falling in tune with you beautifully and become part of you.
Listen! That is why I insist on– “kurvann eveha karmāṇi jijīviṣec chatagṁ samāḥ | (कुर्वन्नेवेह कर्माणि जिजीविषेच्छत्ग्ण् समाः)”. Always decide for Life. Always decide for Life. Always decide for Life.
Not having money in your bank account cannot make you poor. Poverty is you declaring bankruptcy voluntarily. Not, not having money in your bank account, but you giving up on and declaring bankruptcy is poverty. Same way, feeling tired is not giving up on Life; deciding not to get out of tiredness is giving up on Life.
[Let The Truth Empower You]
Listen! I am not making this verse as self-motivation technique. No! I am telling you the Truth. I neither believe in self-motivation nor believe in self-empowerment; I believe in Truth. If Truth empowers you, you are worthy of getting empowered. If truth does not empower you, disappear. Die! Better for you and for the Universe! It is Truth I am interested in, reality I am interested in. I am not interested in classifying any of my books in the “Self-Help” category. No! Actually, my books can never be classified! You can’t classify them as “Philosophy”. You can’t classify them as ‘Self-Help’. You can’t classify them as “Religion”. Soon, the Library of Congress is going to have difficulty to classify my books. May be, I myself can give them classification and clear their problems: ‘THE BOOK OF BOOKS’. The books out of which books can be churned out.
Listen! This one verse can make a religion, new philosophy, or self-help books, anything! But this verse is all about Reality.
कुर्वन्नेवेह कर्माणि जिजीविषेच्छत्ग्ण् समाः |
kurvann eveha karmāṇi jijīviṣec chatagṁ samāḥ |
DECIDE! Beautifully, Upaniṣad declares –“kurvann eveha karmāṇi” (कुर्वन्नेवेह कर्माणि)”
“One should decide.” ‘SHOULD’. It is an instruction. Listen. Blessing-cum-instruction! Not, ‘one MAY decide’, ‘one CAN decide’, one will...” No! ‘One SHOULD decide to live in this world for a hundred years, HUNDREDS OF YEARS, all the while doing his deeds dispassionately from the context of the earlier verse’:
ईशावास्यमिदं सर्वं यत्किञ्च जगत्यां जगत् ।
तेन त्यक्तेन भुञ्जीथा मा गृधः कस्यस्विद्धनम् ॥ 1 ॥
Ishaavaasyamidham Sarvam Yathkincha Jagathyaam Jagath |
Thena Thyakthena Bhunjeethaa Maa Gridhah Kasyasviddhanam ||
From that context, one should decide to live forever. Arey, I tell you, the moment you decide to live, complete with all your decisions not to live, and drop, your very DNA changes!
Just a few days before, I read an article in the Internet. One monk’s mummified body was found, which is something like two-hundred years old. And, Dalai Lama’s personal physician, he is also a monk, he went and checked the body and declared that the monk is not dead; he is still in a meditative state. He declared that monk is in the state of ‘Tukdam’. In Saṁskṛit, we call it ‘Turiyam’. In Pāli, it is Tukdam. So, he declared that, that monk is in the state of ‘Turiyam’. And, please understand, the body was mummified monk, found preserved in Mongolia. And, I do accept what this Buddhist doctor declared about this monk. Seeing his body, I related with his consciousness. And I saw what this doctor, physician of Dalai Lama, who is also a Buddhist monk, what he declared that, that monk is not dead, I accept that, and it is true he is not dead. He has reached a space, he may not use this body again, but he is not dead. If he is dead, two-hundred years, the hair, body, everything cannot be so intact. And, above all, only the eastern mystics and monks can understand this science of not using the body, but not being dead. It is called Jīva Samādhi in Eastern traditions. Only the mystics can understand this science and this truth. After seeing the body of this monk, I am very clear, this monk is in the state of turiyam; tukdam in Pāli, turiyam in Saṁskṛit. And, I am so happy that Buddhists have decided to preserve his body and keep his body intact and worship, keep him as a symbol of Jīva Samādhi, the state of turiya. And, it is just a clear decision to LIVE.
See, any of you want to achieve his state, I tell you, all you need to do is only one thing: Just complete with all your incompletions, your decisions made consciously, unconsciously against Life. Nothing should make you powerless. Nothing can make you powerless. Life is available to you eternally. Eternal life is available to you.
[Complete With Your Decisions Against Life]
Today, I request all the disciples and satsangis to sit and spend time in penning down all the moments you made decisions against Life, the thought-currents you entertained against Life, the thought-trends you entertained against Life. Pen down all those incompletions and incidents, and complete with them. Do this Completion for the next two-three days, because, at least next two-three days I will be expanding on this sutra. I tell you, once you complete with all your decisions against Life, and this order, command by Upaniṣad–kurvann eveha karmāṇi jijīviṣec chatagṁ samāḥ | (कुर्वन्नेवेह कर्माणि जिजीविषेच्छत्ग्ण् समाः)”– when this becomes your inner-space, as a Vedānta Kesari, the Lion of Vedānta, when you roar– ‘kurvann eveha karmāṇi jijīviṣec chatagṁ samāḥ | (कुर्वन्नेवेह कर्माणि जिजीविषेच्छत्ग्ण् समाः)” – I tell you, the state of this Mongolian monk is your birthright, you will all achieve it.
Especially, I want all my Gurukul kids to practice this, and start practicing this. I tell you guys, I will produce millions, millions sitting in Jīva Samādhi. Not a few hundreds, not a few thousands, but millions sitting in Jīva Samādhi, physically in this Nithyānandapuri, and spiritually in Akṣara Dhāma.
Please listen! All you need to do is just only one thing: Complete with all the incompletions related to Life. Any decision you took against Life, dig it out, dig out that situation, complete it, and drop. That’s all.
Always decide for Life. You have a right to Live. With this context of–’Ishaavaasyamidham Sarvam Yathkincha Jagathyaam Jagath (ईशावास्यमिदं सर्वं यत्किञ्च जगत्यां जगत्)” – even if you have not achieved that context, decide to live and align that context to you more and more. Because you have not yet achieved that context, don’t decide not to Live or against Life. No!
Decide to LIVE. Declare. Decide. ‘My DNA, I have the authority to re-programme, de-programme, programme as I want!’ Decide to LIVE! And, even if one corner of you has a self-doubt, ‘I have decided many times not to live. What to do?’ ‘I don’t care! Now I am deciding to Live. And, whenever those decisions against Life come up, I will complete it, clean it up, but I am deciding, declaring, deciding to live!’
‘kurvann eveha karmāṇi jijīviṣec chatagṁ samāḥ | (कुर्वन्नेवेह कर्माणि जिजीविषेच्छत्ग्ण् समाः)! As a disciple of Upaniṣadic Ṛṣis, as a follower of Upaniṣads, declare: “kurvann eveha karmāṇi jijīviṣec chatagṁ samāḥ | (कुर्वन्नेवेह कर्माणि जिजीविषेच्छत्ग्ण् समाः)”– ‘I DECIDE to LIVE. My decision is FOR LIFE! From now on, not only consciously, even unconsciously, sub-consciously, I will not entertain decision against Life. I will entertain only decision for Life.’
Decision for Life is Ketu. Decision against Life is Rahu. The power which makes Ketu live is ‘Guru’, understand. Even when the demon went and stood in the line of Devatās to receive the nectar, his own SDHD part was not complete. That is why, when he put the nectar into his mouth, before he could swallow and digest, his head was cut off. But, his desire to live cannot be destroyed. That is why he became Ketu and Rahu. His SDHD became Rahu, his decision to Live became Ketu, and he continues to exist. So, finally, SDHD failed. He is still alive along with the Devatās. Understand, decide to LIVE!
Sometimes I see people, just ordinary, simple situations, if a traffic jam happens in the road, they decide to die! Mentally they think, ‘ Eh! instead of this life, better I can die!’ This kind of words they start uttering. Even these all four-letter words is decision against Life! All the four-letter words is decision against Life, understand!
DECIDE TO LIVE is the message from Upaniṣads to all of you. Look in, look in, look in, look in, look in, and purify yourself, again and again, to your very DNA! Decide to LIVE! Decide to LIVE! Decide to LIVE!
Yesterday, we had ‘Vākyārtha Sadas ’ in the gurukul which I also attended. Of course, gurukul kids are continuing with their ‘Vākyārtha Sadas’. Yesterday, I also participated. Soon you guys can get the ‘Vākyārtha Sadas ’ live in Nithyananda TV! Soon it will happen! I was just shocked the way these kids are defining every definition without missing a single word! My joy knew no bounds! The way they are growing, I am so happy for them! Actually, the ‘Vākyārtha Sadas ’ by the kids, gurukul kids, is a commentary on my teachings, on my satsanghs. And I sincerely recommend all the satsanghis to watch the live relay of the Vākyārtha Sadas by the Gurukul kids every day.
Today, the subject for Vākyārtha Sadas, theme for Vākyārtha Sadas is: “Decision to live, and how we are deciding not to live. What all the ways we are deciding against life, against powerfulness, against abundance, against excitement, against inspiration.” Any of your decision against any of this, is decision AGAINST LIFE! Even your decision to entertain tiredness and lie down in the bed and support that tiredness; even your decision encouraging boredom and lying down, withdrawing from life, is decision AGAINST LIFE! So, ‘Deciding to live, how to complete with all the decisions against life’, is the subject for today’s ‘Vākyārtha Sadas ’.
When I saw the ‘Vākyārtha Sadas ’ by the gurukul kids, I was just overflowing! I told Rishi Advaita, ‘Advaita, you don’t know what I am doing to Veda Mata! You don’t know this offering to Veda Mātā!’ Because, not out of any arrogance or pride, or ego, I am claiming. Please understand, nowhere in the Planet Earth, now, at least now, where the kids sit and do ‘Vākyārtha Sadas ’! You can see in some places some pundits, old Swamis, sit and discuss over a few betel leaves, betel nut, paan, a few things; kids may chant a little bit. But, here, kids so sincerely debating, exploring, digging deep, getting deeper and deeper understanding, and being honest in what they are uttering.
Within a few days, after the proper arrangements are done, I am going to open the ‘Vākyārtha Sadas ’ by the kids also for the public to come and see just like morning satsangh. I am just working with all the arrangements to be done, like mike set, and the barricade protection for the kids; all that I am doing. Once it is ready, I invite the public to come and see the ‘Vākyārtha Sadas ’, the discussion of spiritual principles, debate on spiritual principles, by the gurukul kids, NITHYANANDA GURUKUL KIDS!
Yesterday, when they were discussing, actually they felt a little intimidated by my physical presence; but, even then, the way they all repeated every definition of the great spiritual truths, especially after I put the condition, ‘You should speak only what you honestly, with integrity, believe, with authentically what you made as your cognition’.
And, I invite the whole world to watch it through Nithyananda TV live, or come physically, be here, and learn, learn, by sitting and listening to the Balasants of Nithyananda Sangha, the Swamis and Goswamis, the Balasants of Nithyananda Sangha! Understand, it is not that just they read with blindfolded eyes; I am shocked the way they describe every spiritual truth without missing a single word.
So, the essence of this declaration of Upaniṣads: Decide FOR LIFE. ‘kurvann eveha karmāṇi jijīviṣec chatagṁ samāḥ (कुर्वन्नेवेह कर्माणि जिजीविषेच्छत्ग्ण् समाः)’!
Deciding for Life is making Lakṣmī live in your heart, awakening Lakṣmī in your heart! Deciding Lakṣmī to live in your heart, awakening Lakṣmī in your DNA, that is what is the meaning of Viṣnu awakening Lakṣmī during the churning of the milky ocean. Mahādeva, keeping the Nīlakanṭa, means, the Hālāhāla poison in his throat and becoming Nīlakanṭa, I have already explained. All poison can be used as medicine by the right person, used in a right direction, in a right way. All medicine is poison, I tell you. Used properly it becomes medicine. So, who else knows the technology of using the ultimate poison in the ultimate proper way, other than Mahādeva! That is why he kept it in his ‘Kanṭa’–in his throat–and uses it properly as a medicine just through His breathing, and through His words, and just by blowing through His mouth. That is why when He blows through His mouth, the Kundalini Snake, which has taken a little bit of that poison, awakens and starts dancing. When this poison air comes out, that poison feels awakened!
Listen. Decide for Life. When you decide for Life, even poison becomes medicine with you.
I will continue on the remaining verse in the further satsangs.
So, it is time!
I bless you all! Let all of you radiate with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility, Enriching, Causing, and Living Advaita, eternal bliss, Nithyananda! Thank you! `Be blissful!
